Doesn't matter either way. McConnell is going to be primaried by Bevins regardless.

The story should be whether McConnell will pull a Spector and switch parties because he's not going to survive the primary and I believe he knows it.

NOPe to GOPe

Perhaps, but be honest. The reason we believed this from the jump is because it is EXACTLY the kind of thing Mitch would say.

"Did we FReepers jump the gun on this matter?"

McConnell has only himself to blame.
He is responsible for his own actions which have made this kind of charge believable.

For his pandering to Reid, selling out any number of issues and seeking to feather his own nest he has acted the traitor both to his party and the nation.

“Senator McConnell has appeared frustrated as he has had to weather the assaults from Democrats and those in his own party who seem displeased with the Republican leadership...”

McConnell hasn't had “assaults” from Democrats. He goes before the cameras and talks tough, then goes behind the scenes to facilitate Dim successes. He votes “conservative” for the record and his reelection chances only after he has procedurally engineered a defeat for conservatives in the cloakroom. If Reid or other Dims “assault” McConnell, it is only Kabuki theater; they are actually delighted to have him as the opposition leader since he rarely “opposes”.

McConnell is Dingy Harry's Best Friend Forever and is deserving of contempt, not sympathy.

The SCF have been relentless in their criticisms and Senator McConnell has appeared frustrated as he has had to weather the assaults from Democrats and those in his own party who seem displeased with the Republican leadership...

So.

McConnell has been there too long, he needs to go. He is not up to the job.

This is apologetic to McConnell. It is damage control. It is BS.

McConnell’s performance on the defunding cloture is all anyone needs to know that he is controlled by the mother’s milk of politics; money.

Yes, money is important in politics. But the cloture decision and so many others that ignored principle have set the example to appease, to compromise, to sacrifice American values on orders of a few wealthy progressives.

Republicans were winning before McConnell moved for cloture because of conservatives and they are up in the polls now because of conservatives.

The Tea Party won the House in 2010 and they will win the Senate in 2014. McConnell, Rove and Rove’s PAC American Crossroads has done nothing but create trouble for the winners. Now they find themselves in trouble especially McConnell who is facing Bevins who just days ago won an important straw poll of 80% in an important county of Kentucky!

McConnell is terrified and will do anything to cut hard to the right in an attempt to bring Kentucky voters back into his fold.

This is what RINOs do! They run hard to the right when necessary in elections and they operate on the left once comfortably in office.

No, it has been well documented that McConnell has unslipped his dogs of war against the TEA Party.

It really doesn’t matter. McConhell’s threats against the SCF and anyone who works with them are well documented. And there wouldn’t have to be an SCF if McConnell and the rest of the GOP-e hadn’t abandoned TEA Party candidates who beat their pals in primaries.

This article is an eye-opener. It totally fits with the left’s tactics to beat us. I still say they’ve been spoofing us even on FR, claiming to be conservatives while tearing down our candidates.

I will never again believe anything of this nature again until absolutely proven to be true. Yes, Mitch still needs to go but it has to be because of who he is, not because of some caricature the left has painted.

This is one time the rats are telling the truth. I have heard these gop/e vermin say that they hate us and I have had gop fundraisers admit to me that it is true and is costing them millions in donations... from people like me that will only give directly to Conservative candidates. mcconnell is toast.

I read somewhere the quotes of what McConnell said that are supposed to be in defense of him. They don't defend him at all; if anything they make him look more stupid, heavy-handed and anti-conservative.

Why isn't there some kind of retaliation in the US Senate about the vote about filibusters? Just sayin'....

According to The Washington Examiner debunks the alleged Tea Party smear, the “schoolyard bullies” comment was not about the Tea Party or conservatives as a whole, but the SCF that have been attacking the Kentucky Senator.

So McCOnnell didn't attack the Tea Party, but attacked the conservative group that is trying to elect Tea Party-friendly candidates including one that is running to replace McConnell.

As Mr. Spock said, "A difference that makes no difference is no difference."

the article ends up pleading “let’s not play their [dems] game.”

Of course, the subtext of articles like this is that “unity” is achieved by stopping all challenges to R leadership, making sure the oatmealish RINO’s are nominated and then voting for them in huge numbers.

Of course, the alternative subtext is that leadership should start listening to Republicans, that liberty/conservatives should be nominated, and all the moderate R’s should vote for them in huge numbers.
